I write to tell you about a very important and worrying aspect.
Allah says in the Quraan:
"Obey Allah and obey the prophet(SAW)" (surah Al Imran)
It is a part of our faith to accept and follow every command Allah has asked us to follow.
If we do not follow, we may go to a certain extent that we may be commiting acts of Kufr.
Let me give you a parable, if your boss or head teacher asks you to do something but for some reason you are not able to or forget to, the boss might over look it once or twice, he may punnish you in some way.
But, on the other hand, if you do not carry out a command given by your boss and when he asks you and you refuse, you most probably will lose your job because you are not following orders from an higher authority.
So in the same way, we may not be able to do everything that Allah has ordered us to do, and Allah is the most forgiving and might forgive our errors if he wills. But, if we REFUSE to do as we are told altogether, then we are doing something which is extremely wrong.
May Allah guide you and help you to follow Islam properly.

How this 'information' new? Haven't all Muslims heard this like 10,000 times? No offense or anything, it just seems to be the equivalent of making a thread titled "Believe in Allah or you'll Burn in Hell!!!1".
am sure that you all know the hadeeth in which ‘Umar (radee Allaahu ‘anhu) told the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) that he is more beloved to him then everything in this world except his own self, to which the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) informed him that he (‘Umar) would not truly believe until he made the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) more beloved to him than even his own self.
What was ‘Umar’s response to his?
Did he say ok, inshaa’Allaah and jazak’Allaahu Khair like many of us do today by which we really mean get lost or by which we have no intention of following what we are being told, i.e. you tell a brother to give up smoking (it’s haraam) and he says “inshaa’Allaah” but has no intention to give up smoking, thus playing politics with this word.
No!
He replied immediately by saying to the Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) that he (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was more beloved to him (‘Umar) than his own self.
And this was ‘Umar (radee Allaahu ‘anhu). Within the space of a few minutes he had changed that which was in his heart and he heard and he obeyed.
Where are we from this?
Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) said:
“The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. They say: ‘We make no distinction between one another of His Messengers’, and they say: ‘We hear, and we obey’ (We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return (of all).” (2:285)
In the Tafsir of Imaam ibn Kathir he states that “we hear and obey…” means: “We heard Your statement, O our Lord, comprehended and implemented it, and adhered to its implications.”
So let us be of those who when we hear that Allaah said and His Messenger (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said we “…hear and obey…” by comprehending what was said, implementing it and adhering to its implications. Let us not be like the jews who when they heard they said: “We hear your word and disobey.” (4:46) Wallaahu ta'aala 'aalam!
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
